Soldier fires live rounds to disperse Jewish protest

Social media footage taken this evening shows an IDF soldier firing from his personal weapon to disperse a demonstration of Jews who came out to protest at the Bayt Furik junction near Shechem against the shooting attack at Eli Junction earlier today.

In addition, a few hours after the attack, police officers arrested two boys who went out to demonstrate at Yitzhar Junction about the security situation.
The Honenu legal aid organization, which provides free legal services for people experiencing difficulty in receiving a fair judicial process, reports that the police arrested a 15-year-old boy who was standing at the Yitzhar intersection in Samaria. Another boy who was standing at the intersection was arrested and released after a short time.

A lawyer from the Honenu is investigating the reason for the arrest.
In the meantime, at the end of a situation assessment by the police, it was decided to reinforce the officers on Judea and Samaria roads, with an emphasis on sensitive areas, intersections and crowd concentration points.
The police and the IDF will work to maintain public safety and prevent public order incidents while allowing protests at the intersections and points where they determine it to be acceptable.
The police call on the public to obey the instructions of the officers deployed in the area.
